Hi Steven, sorry for replying that late - I'm quite busy atm.
The error you received was because of an invalid mailto: link which rdig failed to handle correctly. I just uploaded RDig 0.3.1, fixing this bug. In testing with your site I noticed that it takes quite long to parse the index page, so you might have to set cfg.crawler.wait_before_leave to a higher value (20 worked for me) to prevent rdig from exiting before the parser has finished parsing the index page. The parsing speed of RDig is really bad for big pages (your index page weighs around 62kB). I'd happily accept a patch adding a faster html content extraction mechanism for RDig users to choose from ;-) Maybe even a special Ferret analyzer just stripping out any html tags would do.
